2 men hurt in police shooting face attempted murder charges

ELKRIDGE, Md (AP) — Two men critically wounded in an exchange of gunfire with Baltimore County police officers are facing charges including attempted murder, police said.

The Sun reported that both suspects, 34-year-old Justin Lee Buchanan and 25-year-old Kevin Tyler Kelly, 25, were being treated at University of Maryland Shock Trauma.

Howard County Police spokesperson Sherry Llewellyn said on Friday that the two men, both from Baltimore, shot at Baltimore County officers before the officers returned fire. The shooting on Thursday followed a chase that started in Baltimore County and ended in Elkridge, Maryland.

A third person who was in a car wit the two suspects wasn’t charged in connection with the incident but was taken into custody on an arrest warrant connected to a May 19 shooting.

No officers were injured. Police were investigated how many officers were involved and fired their weapons.
